Abstract (en)

To achieve high precision measurement of mass flow rate by equalising the output amplitude values of upstream and downstream sensors without causing a lowering of the mechanical Q of the vibrating system , in a Coriolis type mass flow meter, one of the upstream and downstream sensors comprises a permanent magnet 2 mounted on a tube 15 and an induction coil 75, mounted on a base 3, the output voltage amplitude of the induction coil 75 being fixed. Another sensor comprises a ferromagnetic member 72 mounted on the tube 15 and a pair formed by an excitation coil 70 and an induction coil 71 mounted on the base 3. The output voltage amplitude of the induction coil 71 is controlled to be coincident with the output voltage amplitude of the induction coil 75 by adjusting a DC current flowing through the excitation coil 70. <IMAGE>
